There is something remarkable and unique happening in Central/Eastern Europe and North America. The performance, development, and study of Musical Theatre Performing Arts has become an international phenomenon. With the ever rising sales of American Broadway Classics on video, cassette and CD, the interest in seeing, performing and developing works in this genre continues to expand.

The McClinton Musical Theatre Arts Foundation is the direct results of this ever increasing demand for knowledge, material and excellence of performance. Founded in February of 2002, the newly formed organization sought to create a center for the d0evelopment, study and presentation of musical theatre endeavors. Since musicals are not germane to this region of the world and the quality of training is unsatisfactory, developing an entity that would foster excellence, creativity and artistry prove to be a major motivating factor in creating a Musical Theatre Arts organization.

Thanks to the kind support and generous grant from the Senior Fulbright Scholars Exchange program, Dr. Calvin A. McClinton was able to implement and structure a foundation whose primary mission is to offer assistance and support for this specific art.

Over the past year MMTAF has offered support to three artists in developing new theatre works, four workshop presentations of a new musical, five studio classes in vocal training for the musical stage and one seminar on the business of theatre management.
